Zy I'm sorry but I don't agree with your definition of Senryu. The rules I would follow is the same as Haiku being (5/7/5) but not of nature. I went on to the address you provided. How to complicate a poem format? The simple rules I have followed is an address I got from the corner years ago and find them simple to follow. www.shadowpoetry.com Not being a prolific writer of Haiku or Senryu there probably will be further rules that demand following. But I enjoyed the humour in the lines you wrote...Tony (potleek)

 I simply followed the formats guide within the enclosed link of a published author, Tony, as I'd never written a Senryu before, but thought it all a bit odd too...so I went in search of the link to Shadow Poetry within our corner's Format Guide but it won't open, so I have reposted the latest version as I too have used it on many occasions....it's a great format and reference guide.

Revised First Senryu

Head is in the clouds

Veiled eyes offer vague vision 

May the rain come soon

(c) Zydha Oct 2018

I’ve just tried one of these for your challenge, Zy

and I have to admit that I found it fascinating, writing about self instead of nature

(and I’m sorry, but I agree with Tony on this, as I looked up the format on the Shadow Poetry site).

I like both versions though and I think the first one works well enough on its own 

without restrictions such as line and syllable count.

I’ll be back again for another read later.

 Hy Lynn, you'll notice that I too agreed with Tony (and Shadow Poetry) with my 'second' version..

I found the Senryu on another poetry site, complete with an incorrect instruction on format.

I posted Shadow Poetry here a long time ago so the fault was mine in not checking our own site first, Zy

 Och....you should know me better than that, Tony, look at the date,

I'd only just started to get back into things Zy
